Any major American grocery store should have both types of Heinz
ketchup. If you don't see either product in your favorite grocery store,
ask.

I collect bottles of Heinz ketchup from all over the world and I can
tell you that the flavor is adjusted slightly in some countries, for
example, its a bit sweeter in Canada and England. The bottle I have from
Greece was inedible; the flavor was just really strange. I got a friend
from Greece to read the bottle to try to ascertain why and he said the
ingredients list was too vague, but he agreed that it tasted different.
